The Lakers, already far and away leading the NBA in man-games lost to injury, continue to pad that lead. Not that they want to.

Just as they got pretty much their entire point guard rotation back from injury, they have lost Nick Young for at least two weeks with a “non-displaced fracture of the patella and a bone bruise in his left knee,” according to Lakers.com reporter Mike Trudell. Swaggy P will be re-evaluated in two weeks, he could be out longer.

Young injured his knee when fouled during the Lakers win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

While he is a streaky gunner with no conscience, Young provided shot creation that the Lakers will miss.

The Lakers have re-signed Shawne Williams to a 10-day contract to add a healthy body to the roster. Wise move, as at the end of the Lakers win Wednesday night they were out of eligible players and had to leave Robert Sacre in the game after he fouled out — with each additional foul a technical foul would have been added to the penalty. It’s been a long time since an NBA team had to go that route.
